INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

For very little children the blessed kinder
garten has come and already methods, aud
what is more, its spirit, have greatly infiu-
enced the lower room of the grammar
school. Teachers have learned to give in
struction, in some degree, by means of things
that can be seen and handled.
FRANCIS A. WALKER,
President of the Institute of Technology,
Boston.
The thoughtful observer of educational
methods must be impressed with the hold
the kindergarten has taken upon those who
come in contact with its work. The consci-
entious teacher in attendance at that great
gathering at Chicago must have felt, when
looking on the exhibit of work designed by
the hundreds of busy minds, that to read was
not tbs first requisite Of an education, as has
long been supposed. The training of the eye,
the ear, the hand, the heart, is quickly no.
ticeable, even in the youngest
To those uninformed as to its aims, the
idea prevails that it is simply a school in
which children play with bits of colored
paper, and that any place where little ones
are taught could be designated Kinder
garten. As well might flute be called a
violin, because it belongs to the class of
musical instruments A few mornings scent
In the company Of the true kindergarten,
and her garden will prove to the most un-
sophisticated spectator that this is the true
culture for the tender blossoms
That our sons may be as plants grown up
in their youth; that our daughters may be as
corner stones polished after the sirpi,itnda ~

GONE.

The news of the flight of W. c. Beebe yes
terday morning spread over the city and ere
ated no little excitement. Beebe has fol
some time been considered rather hard up
He had mortgaged all his property, mostly
personal, paying off one mortgage by a loan
contracted with some other. 1t has come to
the surface that some Of the property has
been mortgaged and remortgaged. Several
of his creditors became uneasy and a short
time ago commenced closing mortgages.
Some hs paid off, and at last finding himself
pressed to the wall, he, Tuesday morning,
about o'clock, gathered together all his
property and left for parts unknown. 1t
is thought that he took with
him about thirty-ive head of
horses; his route is supposed to be southwark
to Texas.
Constable Rufus Cone went yesterday
forenoon to his place six miles southeast Of
the city, and found there only some worth
less stock which he could not take with him
on the journey.
His property is mortgaged to the amount
Of about $1,000, in amounts varying from
500 to $1,000. An effort is being made to
capture him and it is thought he will be re-
turned to the city in very few days and
made to answer for his crookedness.

THE BURTON CAR WORKS.

An EAGLE representative visited the Bur
ton Stock Car companys grounds yesterday
afternoon with view to obtaining definite
idea of the progress being being made on the
shops and was more than surprised at the
push and hustle displayed. A person who
has not visited the works this week cannot
form an idea of their dimensions The way
to reach the works is to drive up Lawrence
Avenue to the township line and then going
east to the Midland and drive up the ives.
side of the track to the works.
The Midland road has put in
two spdrs from the north
end over which stone, brick and other build
ing material are being delivered as rapidly
as it can be procured. Some eight cars OF
stone are now being put into the foundation
of the main building, the north end of which
foundation is partially completed, and upon
which the brick masons will begin laying
brick in a couple Of days. Over twenty men
are at work, and that number is being In
creased as rapidly as the material arrives.
The trenches for the foundations for five out
Of the ten large buildings are completed, and
the stone will be laid as soon as it can be de-
livered. The contractor stated that there
would be no difficulty in finishing the build
ing by January first

THE BOND QUESTION.

The city bonds for completing the Topeka
avenue sewers as yet have not been sold
1t seems that several parties are preparing
bids bat in the midst Of that work another
unforeseen trouble arises which in the minds
Of some seem to question the validity of the
bonds as issued The predicament seems 70
be very unpleasant one as Judged by ex-
pressions from some members of the city
council A special meeting for the further
consideration of the question seems possible.
If no special meeting is called it win probe
bly, be discussed at the next regular meeting
